Fallout 76's Big Wastelanders Update--Which Adds NPCs--Delayed Shortly Due To Coronavirus

Bethesda has delayed the release of Fallout 76's Wastelanders update due to COVID-19. In a statement, Bethesda confirmed that developers are now working from home, and this has impacted the April 7 release of the Wastelanders update on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Wastelanders is a much-anticipated update, as it introduces NPCs to the game.

Working from home has affected Bethesda's ability to perform "final testing" on Wastelanders. As such, Bethesda has moved the release date by one week, to April 14.

"We've done everything we can to minimize the delay and can't wait for everyone to play, Bethesda said, adding that the developer is especially thankful for Fallout 76's Private Test Server players for their help during this time.
